Significance and Engagement Policy

It sets out Greater Wellington Regional Council’s general approach to identifying the significance of decisions and our approach to engaging with the community. This policy is also a guide for elected members and council staff as to the level and form of engagement that may be required from the start of a decision making process. The Significance and Engagement policy was amended by Council on 31 October 2017.
